Tale of the tape
Tale Of The Tape: Seattle Seahawks At Houston Texans
|Russell Wilson is not a system quarterback. While he is a perfect fit for Pete Carroll's offense, Wilson would be a solid quarterback in any offense because he is smart, decisive, athletic and he has more than adequate arm strength. While he lacks height, he's got more than enough charisma and moxie to lead his team to an exceptional performance nearly every week.
|Matt Schaub is a skilled quarterback with a proven track record. He has the arm strength, the field vision and the accuracy to take over a game and light up the scoreboard. He stays calm under pressure, but he does not always seem to rise to the occasion when the Texans face a big moment. Playing the Seahawks is a big moment.
|The Seahawks are an aggressive and physical team that likes to soften opponents up with a powerful ground game. The Seattle offensive line is one of the best in the league and running back Marshawn Lynch enjoys running over tacklers. Wide receivers Golden Tate and Sidney Rice can go downfield and get the ball or go over the top of the defense.
|The Texans are coming off a poor offensive game against the Ravens. Arian Foster is normally one of the top three running backs in the league, but he could not get untracked against Baltimore as he was held 54 yards. Wide receiver Andre Johnson is battling a nagging shin injury that cuts down on his speed, while tight end Owen Daniel is reliable.
|The Seahawks take pride in having a shutdown defense in an era when offenses can light up the scoreboard. Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner is one of the most underrated linebackers in the league. He had 9 tackles and an interception vs. the Jaguars and he plays with speed and purpose. Cliff Avril is a solid pass rusher who can turn the corner and cause havoc.
|The Texans have perhaps the best defensive lineman in the game in J.J. Watt. He can dominate against the run, sack the quarterback and bat passes down with his long arms. Whitney Mercilus has excellent range at linebacker while Danieal Manning is becoming one of the best safeties in the league as a result of his athleticism and on-field intelligence.
|The Seahawks have outstanding coverage units on punt and kickoff returns. Steven Hauschka has adequate leg strength and has proven reliable in the clutch. Jon Ryan is not a great distance kicker but he gets height and can drop the ball inside the 20.
|Special Teams
|Special teams were a major issue last year for the Texans and their coverage teams don't seem much better this year. Randy Bullock is an unproven placekicker at this point, while former Oakland Raider Shane Lechler remains one of the best punters in the league.

Round 2: Al Gore again denies that cashing out to foreign oil is in any way hypocritical
**Written by Doug Powers
Even some on the left are having a hard time looking the other way at Al Gore's latest round of hypocrisy. Gore, who is making the rounds promoting a new book, has been questioned by the likes of Matt Lauer and MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski for cashing out to oil-backed Al Jazeera.
Last night even David Letterman couldn't help but bring it up:
The pair then went on to discuss Al Jazeera further, including its country of origin, Qatar — for which Gore used the descriptor "gas and oil."
"So you're selling this television network to a gas and oil supported emirate," Letterman remarked. "Isn't that one of the problems with global warming, our dependence on petroleum-producing countries?"
"Yes, it is," Gore said.
"So you, Al Gore," Letterman interjected, "are doing business with this country that's enabling your ultimate foe of climate change."
"I think I understand what you're getting at, Dave," Gore replied, "but I disagree with it."
Gore then offered the rationale that "they [Qatar] have ambitious plans to develop renewables in the region." I think he's telling the truth too because Al's check for tens of millions of dollars is drawn on the "Bank of the Future Renewable Energy Ministry of Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Algae and Oryx Flatulence."
Qatar has the highest per-capita greenhouse gas emissions of any country in the world — second highest if Al Gore ever declares national sovereignty.
"In fairness to Mr. Gore, it was a really big check."

Such a really solid IPA. One of my favorite, just a plus that is is brewed locally and I can get it on tap at almost any bar I go to. Full of hops, but also has a nice drinkability to it, I could drink it all night, and I have. Has a full citrusy burst, almost everything yo would expect from an IPA. West coasty style but most balanced. Highly recommend.

At the source in Athens. Stopped by with my girlfriend for lunch and had the Outrage. Very solid IPA. Plenty of hop flavor and decent mouth feel. Went well with the PEI mussels. They have done a lovely job rehabbing that old building. Kudos. Watching the Bills win was a real bonus.

The important thing has been hit a couple of times... This is a hop-forward and hop-ending beer. It's basically the same throughout, there's a big dose of hop-smell on the nose, the body is just enough to support the bitterness, and then you've got a long-lingering hop flavor on the tongue.
It's a little darker than I anticipated, but it's a nice golden in the 12oz glass.
If you like a west-coast IPA, this is a beer for you. If you don't, then stay away.
Comparable: Bridgeport Brewing's IPA was my immediate thought
But really, if you're going to be in or around Athens, NY, what else do you have to do but come drink the beer? Try this one, you know what you're getting and you won't be disappointed by it, it's fine enough for what it's doing.

A - Orange pour with a hearty beige foam. Plenty of sticky lacing on the pint glass. Cloudy look to the beer.
S - Pungent smell of hop resin. There are some spicy notes of pine and Christmas spice.
T - Flavors of light grains and spice finishes with a hearty bittering from a tar-like blast of hops. This beer shows how a high IBU on a standard IPA can be extremely bitter. A bit much for me actually.
M - Medium bodied beer with minimal carbonation. Finishing with a strong bitter bite makes this a beer only hop heads would go for a second.
O - Not bad, but it takes more than a one trick pony get me excited. For those who enjoy the lingering bitter taste in their mouth this is a decent beer.

From 01/12/13 notes. Had this on tap at Pony Bar on the UES in NYC, 14 oz. pour in a pint glass.
a - Pours a somewhat clear orange-amber color with one inch of bright white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of citrus hops, grapefruit, pine hops, fruity malts, resin, and some caramel malts. Lots of citrus and pine, I like it a lot.
t - Tastes of citrus hops, pine hops, grapefruit, tropical fruits, fruity malts, caramel malts, and some floral and earthy notes. Taste is super hoppy again and super bitter; quite nice.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Big bitter bite to it.
o - Overall a really nice DIPA. This one has a lot of pine and grapefruit hops to it, and a bitter bite in the mouthfeel. I liked it a lot and would definitely have it again.

I hate to trash a local beer but my Compadre and I dubbed this one the "lame but local" IPA and it is truly one of the worst IPA's I@ve tried in the past three years. No it's not Bud (if Bud was all I could get, I'd give up drinking entirely). But it tastes like a mediocre lager which is dry hopped to make it seem like an IPA. I'd be open to trying another of their beers but this one was a one legged Oscar Pistorious trying to win the 400 Meters (not happening).

On-tap at Mugs Alehouse, Brooklyn, NY
A: The beer is clear amber in color and has no visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down and left lacing on the surface and a thin ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are strong aromas of citrus and pine resin hops in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste has a strong mélange of hoppy flavors but at the same time is well balanced with notes of caramel malts. A light to moderate amount of bitterness is present.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very easy to drink and goes down very smoothly. There's a good amount of hop flavors but it also shares some similarities with the maltiness of an amber/red ale.

A - Pours a dark gold color with a generously creamy, one fingered head. Very bright and very clear.
S - Lots of vibrant grapefruit and pine. Malt takes the back seat and the aroma suggests this is a very hop forward beer.
T - No complexity at all, just a straightforward West Coast style IPA with a generous amount of resiny grapefruit and pine. The bitterness is a little oily and leaves a lingering resinous coating of grapefruit peel for several minutes.
M - Medium body and silky smooth carbonation.
O - I wish I could get this beer in PA, it's hop forward and "delivers the goods" for us lupulin lovers - a must try. The aroma is good but where this one really shines is the taste. Reminds me more of the West Coast, nicely done and I will be seeking this one out again next time I head to Albany.

Poured from tap into pint glass at Terrapin in Rhinebeck, NY.
Pours a hazy-ish golden color. Nice head with great lacing.
Smells of fruity piney hops...really nice.
Taste is of fruity, piney, cotton candy hops. Mild in the hops bite, but full in flavor. I have wanted to try this for a while, and it was fantastic. Great east coast IPA - full of fruity flavor with just the correct amount of bite. Worth every sip of this brew. Fantastic.

A pint at the Dinosaur, Troy, NY on 2/8/12
Clear and golden with little head or lace. Piney hop aroma. Lively carbonation and medium body. Great balance between the hops and malt. Somewhere between and East coast and West coast IPA. Earthy hops with a bit of pine, contrasted with a slight caramel sweetness. Nice strong bitter finish.

On tap for the first time at the Golden Rail Ale House in Newburgh. Awesome beer and fianlly got the brewery to bring in a few barrels.
Pours a nice clear amber with a decent layer of white head. This beer has hops in the front and hops in the back. There is definitely a citrus and floral aroma on the nose with a nice finish. This beer is definitely drinkable and with the numerous hops and dry hopping there is great balance and semi malty body. You will taste the pine at at the end with a nice biterness. I would definitely recommend this beer. Try it, Drink it, Love it. At 7%, you cant go wrong.

On tap at Press 195 (Park Slope, Brooklyn)
Appearance: Clear Amber, with a hazy white head. Light lacing.
Aroma: Citrusy and Floral sweetness
Taste: Initially sweet up front. Turns to a pleasant grapefruit bitterness that hangs around for a while. The finishing taste is similar to orange peel.
Overall I really liked this this beer. I specifically went to Press 195 to have a pint. It's a really drinkable ipa and coming in at 7% that makes this a bit dangerous.

On tap at the Dutch Ale House, Saugerties, NY.
Pours a lively amber with a thin white film. Skunky nose. Caramel malts, a catty old ale tang, and resin hops that give a Rooibos bite. Stinging linger. Medium, chewy, sticky.
Great interplay of sour citrus, fruit and bark hops. Brings both the IBUs and the hop flavor. Give it a couple of years and it with rank with Flower Power and Unearthly among great NY IPAs.
A classic in the making.
Nice to see a new local brewer and a local bar supporting them. Keep it up!
Note: Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo and Citra according to the brewery.

Sampled at the tasting room which is running now. Then took home a growler and polished it away last night. Sweet Nectar IPA in the Cap to Hudson Valley region.
Extraordinarily quaffable and fruity IPA with a huge flowery nose and tons of tropical and citrus fruit. The beer gets a nice 1.5 inch foam stand with nice lacing. It is bright golden to light orange in color with great clarity. The beer has a fantastic balance of hop punch and malt backbone with a nice crisp bitterness in the finish. At 7% abv it is very drinkable and frankly hard to keep out of the glass. Smooth and medium light in body with a tremendous harmony of hop flavors.
Frequent growler fills will be required.

Here is a recent review I wrote on draft:
I had a bunch of these when it was on tap at the Amsterdam Ale House on Manhattan's Upper West Side. This was one of the better IPA's (particularly new IPA's) that I've had for a long time. Very in your face hoppiness but well balanced as well.
Pale/Orange color. Good carbonation that sticks around for a while and leaves a bit of lacing.
Aroma is citus/pine and very strong.
Flavor as well was so great. Perfect amount of bitterness but very well balanced at the same time.
Highly recommend if you can find it.
I would say the cask is at least as good as the draft. Maybe better. Great brewery.

A: Poured from the growler into a pint glass. Body is clear copper with a 1-finger ivory head. Leaves behind nice lace.
S: Not terribly strong in the nose - mainly piney hops over a touch of brown sugary malt.
T: First impression: reminds me of Sierra Nevada Celebration. Sprucey, piney, citrusy (grapefruity) hops over caramel malt - with a touch of toasted bread underneath as well. Nicely balanced - my wife the hophead thought it was too sweet, actually. Lingering dry bitterness at the back of the palate.

A - Pours a rich clear copper-orange color with a finger of white head atop. The head fades slowly down to a spotty layer atop the beer leaving behind some nice lacing in the process.
S - Aroma is full of lots of fresh citrus and pine hop aromas. There is also enough malt in the background to provide some balance.
T - Starts off with some nice citrus hop flavor and some malty flavors in the background. Through the middle some bitterness as well as some piney hop flavor comes through. The finish is a mix of some nice hop flavor with some slight bitterness as well as some malt flavor that lingers nicely.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth and crisp with very balanced mouthfeel. There is some nice light bitterness and sweet flavors but is also really clean.
D - Very drinkable. Really nice fresh hop profile that has a nice amount of bitterness. The hop and malt profile is really well balanced.

Thanks Brian for bringing this to share.
Review from written notes.
Into a small tulip glass it pours a saturated tropical sunset orange. A thin layer of white foam rests on top, leaving some spotty lace as it's sipped. Eventually the head recedes to a wispy skim.
Pungent leafy hop resin aroma.
Big grapefruit notes right off the bat, juicy and fresh. Lots of citrus with a mild hop bitterness. Slightly sweet with a balanced pale malt backbone. Green resiny hop bitterness builds after each sip. Light bodied and quite sessionable. The fresh, lush citrus flavor is the real standout feature of Outrage.
Glad I got to try this one, really enjoyed it!

32oz (half) growler from Oliver's in Albany. Pretty excited to try this IPA from just a little bit south of here.
Quite amber in color. Small head, minimal lacing.
Sweet pine flavors on the nose.
Taste is of pine and some citrus hop flavors, with a sweet, but not too sweet, malt backbone. Hops hit quick in flavor and it finishes dry and a bit malty.
Mouthfeel is medium, nothing unusual here.
A very decent East Coast IPA here. Always happy to see more upstate NY beers.

Shitty day at work at a growler of Outrage IPA waiting for me in the fridge...into my Crossroads pint glass.
A: Super clear beer. Lots of clarity. Copper color with some amber highlights. A quarter finger of white head with some lacing.
S: This is one of those beers that the hops fade super quick. I actually can notice the difference between the taste I had at the brewery and the growler now. Little grapefruit. Citrus. Piney. Lemongrass. The malt is also super crisp and fresh smelling. The nose is everything you are looking for in an IPA.
T: While the hops are there in spades I am more impressed with the fact that there is a complexity of malt here as well. The taste is fairly close to a celebration ale in a lot of ways. Little caramel malt in there as well. Really nice complexity. Finish is nice with some lingering bitterness.
M: Medium body. Carbonation is nice. Medium body.
D: The whole time I was drawing a comparison to Celabration. Really nice beer overall. I hope this will be a nice beer and the local community will latch on to it. The brewery is in a wonderful place and the people are super nice. Really nice IPA. If I had to tweak anything I would want it a little drier but I like my IPAs that way.

I have been working at Portugal Telecom
Pros – Safe job; Perks like health insurance, telecommunications products discounts, etc; Lots of people using the products you gonna help design and develop.
Cons – Low wages; incompetent management; corporate environment; many internal divisions with the different commercial brands (SAPO, MEO, TMN), which hinders your work; lots of focus on charging the customer instead of creating great products; cultural division of employees by their rank and job skills;
Advice to Senior Management – Be more organized; think ahead of time; don't always make last minute decisions; give more autonomy to your team members; stay focused instead of trying to create too many products; give real and honest feedback to the team; give importance to continuous assessment of workers job, not only at yearly evaluation.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Kangaskhan is pretty much a mini-Tauros and in battle should be treated as such. But everything it can do, Tauros can do better. Tauros is lot faster (with a much better critical hit ratio), is stronger, and can take more special attacks. The only reasons to use Kangaskhan over Tauros are Surf and novelty.
Kangaskhan should Body Slam most of the time, and try to finish things off with its STAB Hyper Beam. Earthquake is mainly for Gengar, to avoid Counter, and for the odd Electric- and Poison-types.
Surf is for Golem and Rhydon—it shouldn't be used on anything else—to take advantage of their 4x weakness (it will do about 70% to both of them).
Counter makes it interesting. With the right predictions and perhaps the element of surprise, it may end up making a difference in a Kangaskhan vs Tauros / Snorlax war.
Other Options
Although Kangaskhan works similarly to Tauros, Blizzard shouldn't be an option on Kangaskhan, as it isn't backed up by a decent Special stat, and hence Body Slam is still better against Grass-types. This means that Kangaskhan really doesn't have any other reasonable options; Submission hurts some Pokemon, like Ice- and Normal-types, a little more than Body Slam, but the recoil and inaccuracy aren't worth it.
Checks and Counters
Cloyster, Exeggutor, and Slowbro are good counters due to their good defensive capabilities. If Kangaskhan has shown its moveset and it doesn't pack Earthquake, Gengar will be unaffected by anything Kangaskhan would be using except Surf, which does negligible damage on it, and is thus an excellent counter. In general, although Kangaskhan can hurt special attackers, it's also horrible at taking special hits, so it will be 2HKOed by most powerful special attackers that are able to take physical hits relatively well.

This topic definitely gets my emotions going. When I started the challenge, I told a few folks so they would have an understanding of what I was trying to accomplish. I read many cases on forums of spouses, partners or other family and friends disrespecting folks who are trying to make a change in their lives. When someone tries to tempt me, I remind them of my efforts and if they continue I ask them what is going on for them that they want to see me fail. I put the ball in their court and ask them why the disrespect? Many people don't have healthy relationships with food and exercise themselves and to feel better about themselves and their weakness they will try to corrupt others. Also some folks feel that if YOU are trying to get healthier it is somehow indicative that you are judging them.
Remember this challenge is about you and your health. Everyday we have to make decisions that impact our feelings and our bodies. We are doing something remarkable and deserve to have folks around us who respect our wishes.
EmAlvers -
What an inspiring story! Our husbands really want to make us happy and probably didn't think about the extra strain he would be putting on you. He probably saw you working so hard...and having made it half-way, thought you deserved a reward. Congrats to you for being so strong, but still allowing yourself to have a great time. Food is the way we celebrate, grieve and ease our boredom......it's amazing that you remained strong in Sin City!
I hope your husband has an extra special surprise for you when you complete this challenge! You definitely deserve it!
I know what you mean James! I completely agree. It's really hard when you have an unsupportive "support network." I would love it if my husband would be the type to look at me and say, "is that a healthy choice for you?" I have only one thing going for me now... I'm in charge of the groceries... he can keep his bad food in the car!
My husband has a junk food mentality, and he's naturally thin, so it's easy for him to dismiss food. However, I like to remind him that he may not always see his fat on the outside, but it's all still there clogging up his heart and killing him silently.
Six years ago I was stranded on Thanksgiving in a sea of food and everyone said, "Try this! Eat that! You've been doing really well so this shouldn't hurt..." at first I was all polite no thank you's and maybe it'll keep til sunday. No one seemed to get it. Finally I made it through by staring them down and saying "I'm building my Body for Life." It got them to stop at least :)
I have to think that not too long ago i was the "people". The negative nelly and i most definitaverly did not have a health relationship with food. Most people will not ever pick up a body for life book. You are the ambassodor of body for life. Your change will hopefully motivate someone around you to make a change in themselves
Yep...it's called "job security" for the gym (unfortunately for you!) Hang in there and great job resisting!
Thanks Ginger! He had actually already purchased the trip prior to my ever starting BFL, so what could I do right?;) I thought for sure that trip to Vegas would blow my challenge, and the fact that I ended up winning as Grand Champion just shows that it's all about progress. No one is perfect all the time, but if we make good choices 90% of the time, then it pays off.That experience has helped me so much with all of the traveling I do now, because I know how to plan and stay on the plan no matter what. I can manage easily in any situation now, which is wonderful!
We most definitely celebrated the day after I finished my challenge with a day trip to Napa Valley. I will never foget how great I felt that day. Amazing how much 12 weeks can change someone's life forever!
figawu- I know what you mean about wanting your $ worth. Growing up really poor as a young child and then having a military step-dad later....I didn't waste a thing! Still don't. But I really had to change my way of thinking in regards to eating. I had to re-arrange the way I think to focus on quality and not quantity. Now, I have no problem ordering a smaller meal for more $ if it's better quality, because it's more satisfying in the end and I don't end up feeling guilty. I still do enjoy some Fresh Choice buffet, but I realize now that I'm not living in prehistoric ages where it's necessary to consume as much as possible for a long winter or something. The food will still be there the next time I go. I have control over what I choose to put in my mouth, how I choose to feel after doing so. I know each of those little choices I make ultimately affects how my day goes. In times of temptations, I just ask myself, "Will doing this get me closer to my goal?" If the answer is no, then I don't do it.
You absolutely can overhaul your thinking in those situations. If I can do it, anyone can.
EmAlvers, Are you my lost long sister. I was brought up the same way "you know kids in Africa would love to have what you are having". You know what i did this weekend on my free day. Something that i have never done and it actually felt good. In the past when i go to restaurants i am the garbage disposal. Any food left will ultimately end up on my plate. Am the family "Mikey" Give it to "Mikey he'll eat anything" but this weekend. My 84th day on BFL, the day it was all over, the day i can hangup my running shoes and take a break. I left half of my free day food on my plate that i paid for. I guess i since it is spring i don't need that much for my long winter any more (misquoting you lol)Oh please click here and read my warning
He He.... that's funny, and GREAT that you now have the control. Sounds like you really had a lightbulb moment as well. I love it! Just keep it up and it won't even be something you think about anymore...it will just be the way you live all the time. People always ask me if I still do BFL? I say, "I guess so, it's just my life." I don't make week long meal plans anymore, but I do mentally plan free meals and free days according to my social calender. Other than that....it's just life for me now, and I've never been happier. I do still follow BFL eating to a tee outside of any free meals by the way, and it definitely works to keep it off if you keep doing it.
Glad you had experienced the same epiphany I had two years ago. Focus on that feeling and the progress you'll keep continuing to make in breaking those mental habits. Congrats on being in control! woo hoo! :)

This is such a sweet, retro inspired little writing desk! I work from home 1 to 2 days a week, mostly just grading papers or blogging. Needed a space to work but didn't have a lot of room for a desk in my spare bedroom (and didn't want to turn the spare bedroom into a dedicated office). This desk serves my needs perfectly. It is very small, just a little writing table, not a full fledged desk. Fits perfectly beneath the bedroom window without crowding out the armchair, bookshelves, and bed. It was easy to assemble but the legs must be slightly uneven, because it wobbles a bit. My husband says that's an easy fix and plans to tinker with the legs. Love the shape of the rounded, angled legs! The color is definitely a medium gray -- not the least bit tan like my monitor suggested. I like it for now because it works in my eclectic space, but I can see myself sanding and restaining this adorable little piece of furniture in the future. The drawers are deeper than I anticipated; happily surprised to find they store all of my home office items. The drawers slide open easily/smoothly. The desk itself is lightweight and the shape is very mid century modern. Overall, I think it is a unique, whimsical piece of furniture and it looks very cute in the spare bedroom. Functional without taking up too much space.
I'm not a fan of big desks, and I wanted something with a good design so this was perfect for me. The drawers are solid and the legs allow me to cross MY legs while sitting at the desk. Plus, it looks chic and great. Desk matches many color schemes, as it has a brown and gray tint to it (along with a greenish hue). I could see it going well with navy blue, red, grays, yellows, and eggplant purple. I'm not sure it would fit well into a beige/brown room as the photo suggests.
I like this desk a lot more than the typical small desks out there. It looks really really expensive. It goes well with out modern office as well as our antique items. Extremely easy to assemble. Love it!!!!!!!!
This desk fits nicely in a small area, has a fun whimsical design and is perfect for my 15 inch lap top computer. My husband remarked it's a nice utility desk with style.
I love this desk. For the right space, it is perfect. Nicely made, small and elegant. Perfect for a guest room or to sit a lap top. I had trouble putting the legs on so that they went in the right direction, but I think I was just being stupid, as my husband had no problem at all. The drawers are smaill, but that is clear from the photo. What you see iswhat you get, and it is really cute.
I needed a smaller sized desk but I wanted something with a little style since it is in my living area. This desk is perfect. It arrived in 2 days & was very easy to put together. The drawers feel a little stiff but that's fine. The color is darker than it appears in the pic, as others had mentioned it their reviews. So far I'm very happy with it.
I love this desk, however there is no way the color in the picture is the same as the actual desk...maybe it was available in more than one color at some point. Its more of a greenish grey. Mine alos arrived with a small dent, but its not noticable enough that it'd be worth the trouble of sending it back. Overall I really like it, I just wish the color depicted on the website had been more accurate.
I needed a small desk for my bedroom. did not want a laptop desk but one where I could pay bills and keep business cards and addresses. this fit the bill.. It is kind of a greyish color. Doesn't look like any wood color I know but it works for me. Nice simple style,.
Very solid, stylish little desk with a great color. I have a large table to work at in my study and wanted a smaller desk for my front room. This desk works perfectly. It is solid and the drawers work well. Also, it was easy to put together.
It is an awesome piece with character, easy to assemble ,great presentation.

TALLAHASSEE -- What do Marco Rubio, medical marijuana, and the Florida Gators all share? The support of the people, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey.
The Democratic polling shop from North Carolina released some findings from its latest Florida robo-survey Friday, and found that Florida's Republican U.S. senator was leading in a hypothetical matchup with former Democratic Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, who recently decided not to run for governor next year. Rubio also had an edge over DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
"Rubio holds narrow leads in a pair of hypothetical reelection match ups, up 45/42 on Alex Sink and 46/43 on Debbie Wasserman Schultz," the release says. "Republicans would certainly be better off with him running again than they would with [former Broward Congressman and tea party supporter] Allen West though, who indicated last week that he would be interested in a 2016 Senate bid. West trails Sink 44/38 and Wasserman Schultz 44/40 in head to heads."
On his own, though, fewer voters approve of Rubio (43%) than disapprove (45%, though that's a statistical tie. The numbers, PPP says, are "pretty similar to the 44/43 spread we found for him in March."
The survey suggests Floridians would be all-on-board for legalizing medical marijuana, with 62 percent of those surveyed supporting the proposed 2014 constitutional amendment. Amending Florida's constitution requires a 60 percent majority of voters casting ballots.
"The initiative being pushed by Orlando trial lawyer John Morgan "has overwhelming support with Floridians- 62% say they would support it to only 26% who are opposed. There is a bipartisan consensus on the issue with independents (74/17) and Democrats (68/20) supporting it overwhelmingly and even Republicans (46/41) doing so by a narrow margin."
The press release also says more of the Florida respondents were bigger fans of the Gators (24 percent) than the Florida State Seminoles (22 percent), although as this blog as harped on many times, that conclusion is in error because it's within the "margin for error" of 4.1 percent. (Speaking of biases, the Noles take an unblemished 4-0 record into the weekend matchup with an also undefeated and ranked Maryland football team.)
Other nuggets from the survey, which robo-surveyed 579 Florida voters last week:
- "Florida voters don't like George Zimmerman, giving him a 20/47 favorability rating. But they also agree with the verdict in his trial with 47% saying it was right for him to be found not guilty, compared to 37% who think he should have been convicted. Even with his continued bad press in the aftermath of the trial Republican voters express a favorable opinion of Zimmerman (30/24) while Democrats (11/67) and independents (24/41) strongly dislike him."
- The most popular baseball team in Florida is...from Atlanta. Some 22% of voters rank the Braves as their most-popular team, follwed by 13 percent backing the Tampa Bay Rays, 11% the Miami Marlins and 10% the New York Yankees, followed closely by their playoff-bound rivals, the Boston Red Sox, with 9%. The Sox and the Rays open an American League divisional series tonight, and Rays backers aren't terribly optimistic. "Only 42% think they'll make it to the World Series, and just 16% think they'll win it," the poll found.
-"It's sad times for the Jaguars when it comes to Florida's favorite NFL team. The Dolphins lead the way at 21% followed by the Bucs at 15%, and the Patriots at 7%. The Jags can only manage a tie for 4th at 6% with the Packers and Cowboys, followed by the Giants at 5%, Falcons at 4%, and Jets at 3%. When we polled Florida in 2011 the Jaguars had 14% support."

If you're losing coverage, check with your insurance company. If your insurance company has informed you that your current plan is being cancelled, contact them - you may be able to keep your old plan through 2014. Or, find a new plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace at HealthCare.gov.
You'll likely find better coverage at a lower cost. You, like most people signing up for coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, may qualify for financial assistance with your health plan. And that plan will come with new 'essential health benefits,' such as preventive care benefits, ensuring that you have the coverage you need to stay healthy, and protection against big medical bills when you get sick. The Marketplace is currently the only place where you can receive financial assistance with health insurance, so be sure to check your eligibility before the December 23 deadline for January 1 coverage.
So this season, give yourself and your family the gift of security and confidence that comes with a reliable, private health insurance plan. Don't delay this important decision. Now is the time! Remember, enroll by December 23 for coverage starting January 1. Visit HealthCare.gov or call 800-318-2596 today.

8400 Highway 100, Nashville, TN | Directions 3722136.035810 -86.972158
Daily 7am-9pm
Best Barbeque Place in Town! – The best barbeque place in town! I really enjoyed our lunch time here with my workmates here. I'll surely be back.
GREAT FOOD ! – Get the country fried steak - you won't regret it !
One of my favorite restaurants of all time – I have been to the Loveless Cafe three times now and I will go back everytime I visit Nashville. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place! The waitresses are wonderful and the food is phenomenol. Prices are cheap and you never have to wait long for the food. You are immediately served with fresh biscuits and homemade jam. After eating, you can shop at the little stores behind the restaurant. They sell their famous homemade jams, hams, spices, sauces, etc. Well worth the trip!
Boy, What a toss up! – I haven't actually been there, but from reading the different reviews, it has to be quite an experience, depending on which review you believe. The various descriptions could be similar to having diaria and constipation at the same time.
The best assortment of reviews I've read in quite some time. I may take the plunge one of these days, just out of curiosity.
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE – If a Nashvillian says to you, "You need to go there! It's been around forever!", STAY AWAY! The only exception to this rule is Arnold's Country Kitchen, a lunch place which is amazingly good. The Loveless Cafe, however, coasts on an undeserved reputation. The first time I tried this place was in the 90's with a friend from out-of-town. We went there for lunch. We tried the biscuits and jams. The biscuits were dry and oily at the same time, if that's possible. They tasted like they were from a steam-table buffet or a maybe day old. The spreads were tasteless and way too sweet. I had the Fried Chicken. You can get better fried chicken at a gas station. Any gas station. The second and last time I went here it was in the early 2000's because my girlfriend insisted we go for her birthday. I tried to warn her. She persisted and finally I said, "OK, we'll go. Because I want you to have the Loveless Cafe Experience!" I phoned in advance and secured a reservation for 2 people. We showed up 3 minutes late for our reservation because it had been so long since my last visit I had forgotten exactly where this place was. Anyway, 3 minutes late. At least 4 parties who did not have reservations were seated before we were. Finally we were shown to a big round table that could seat 6. This table stood right in front of the restrooms - I mean people were brushing up against us to go to the bathroom. We ordered after waiting way too long for a waitress to notice we were alive. I then watched as at least 6 tables that had ordered after us were served their "food". Finally our meals came. My girlfriend was so angry at the quality of the food I thought she was going to get into a fist-fight with someone. That's when I said to her, "Happy Birthday! You've just had the Loveless Cafe Experience!"
Tourist Trap – There was a time when I could recommend Loveless Cafe without reservation. That time has passed.
My last visit was absolutely wretched. They should have been embarrassed to serve the tasteless slop they gave us. Bad fried chicken, bad catfish, bad porkchops...heck, I was embarrassed to have suggested the place. The only decent part of the meal were the biscuits, but they weren't anything special. They were just edible.
Avoid this tourist trap. When they start putting resources back into food instead of developing the land around the Cafe, I might give them another try. Until then, avoid like the plague. There are several better options around Nashville that cost less, are more authentic, and TASTE BETTER.
Examples include Arnold's Country Kitchen (Bar none THE BEST), Monnell's, and Miller's Grocery out in Murfreesboro.
Average Food at Above-Average Prices – I don't see what all of the excitement about this place is. A friend and I went out there for lunch. The food was only average and was a poor value. The macaroni and cheese was from a box I swear and the friend chicken pieces were tiny and overcooked. Honestly, the chicken from the Publix deli is far superior.
Save yourself some cash and go elsewhere. Cracker Barrel has comparable food and one can eat for about half of the cost. Loveless Cafe is terribly overpriced.
One of our favorites! – I love this place. The food is the definition of Southern comfort food. The atmosphere is fun and laid back. We love going for a drive after eating here, either on the Natchez or through Percy Warner Park. I honestly haven't had anything that I haven't loved. I especially like their preserves. I had the apricot the last time. I hate apricots, but I liked this. It wasn't too sweet, not too chewy. Prices are right on. Our servers are always nice and helpful. We do avoid the crowds by going for early dinner, so we never wait. My kids liked seeing the biscuit window. You gotta try it at least once, and I bet you'll go again.
Authentic, Down Home Southern Cooking – This cafe is a throwback to the 50's. The Loveless cafe was recently renovated and visiting, you feel like you get sucked into a southern time warp. The warm Southern hospitality is overwhelming. There are caricatures of famous Southern musicians up on the wall and framed pictures of who's who in America in the lobby. The biscuits are served piping hot, made from scratch along with the homemade blackberry, peach and strawberry jam. The BBQ pulled pork is TO DIE FOR. Highly recommended. After breakfast, check out the surrounding Loveless Motel's 14 rooms which have been converted to a mini-shopping area. Art galleries, gift shops and the Hams and Jams store are a must see! Great place to visit. Have to experience in person at least once!!!
Food below average – I really can't understand why anyone thinks that this cafe has good food. It is definitely not worth waiting on. We ordered the meatloaf and it was not completely cooked. The green beans and mashed potatoes were just average, and you can get much better biscuits at Mickey-D's. I will say that the blackberry and strawberry preserves were very good - everything else - not so good.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Vintage Vineyard Save the Date Magnets Overall, I'm very pleased with the save the dates. They came in a very cute box that I've been using for organizing other various wedding things. The actual magnets were a little smaller than I expected, but that's probably due to my own measuring problems :) I used one of the dark purples and ivory colors and they turned out really really cute. I decided to order a sample of it and it was off center, which worried me, but the official ones were perfect. The envelopes were awkwardly bigger than the save the date, which is the only thing that I wasn't 100% thrilled about because it looked kind of skimpy, but other than that, everyone's loved them so far! I'd definitely reccommend them.
Just what I wanted!
Vintage Vineyard Save the Date Magnets I am very happy with my purchase of the Vintage Vinyard save the date magnet! The magnets were delivered pretty quickly and look great! I changed the color of the card holder to match the green in the magnet and it looks really nice! i can't wait to send out my save the dates!

They're a beautiful couple, and the wedding was a beautiful ceremony at the Victoria Inn in Anniston.
It was great to see them, still basking in the glow of their young love.
They now live in another state, but they were in town for a funeral.
In fact, Britny said she's lost several friends and relatives recently, and it seems like every time the phone rings, it's bad news.
She asked why it is that so many godly people seem to be plucked away from us so soon, while so many mean, selfish and hurtful people seem to be thriving.
I know what she meant. When I lost my grandmother a little over a year ago, I felt the same way. Why couldn't she stay with me a little longer? Why didn't God heal her? Many people who aren't nearly as faithful as her live to be much older. Why her? Why now?
I have a minister friend who lost his grandmother, another who lost his mother, both in the last two weeks. A friend recently lost her husband, and, even as I was writing this column, I received news that another friend lost her father and another lost her mother.
How are Christians supposed to deal with suffering?
First, it's a shame when ministers preach and teach that Christians are supposed to never get sick and never have financial problems, never struggle, never suffer. That mindset is entirely unbiblical.
We should realize that Christians face the same physical, emotional, financial, relationship and societal problems as everybody else. The Bible assures us of it. But God is involved with every detail in the life of his children. Even our suffering.
Here's why:
• God wants us to be like Jesus.
For Christians, hardships are not just empty, random happenstance. God uses misfortune to shape us into his image the way a sculptor uses a file or sandpaper to shape a sculpture.
It doesn't feel good at the time, but he's making us like Christ. (Romans 8:29)
God says our faith, like gold, must be tried in the fire to authenticate it and perfect it. (1 Peter 1:6-7)
When Job lost all 10 of his children and all his livestock and almost all his servants and even his health, he went through a fire that most of us will never face. But Job never stopped trusting in God, and he ended up being even closer to God than when he started.
It's more important to God for us to be Christ-like than for us to be comfortable.
• God is sovereign. (Psalm 33:8)
Job's trials never would have happened if God hadn't allowed it.
The enemy couldn't touch Job's loved ones or his property or even his body without God's permission.
The main lesson from the book of Job is that God is sovereign. How can anyone believe Romans 8:28 if you don't believe that God is in control – in good times and bad?
If I understand that God caused or allowed my hardship, then my duty is to consider how he's using it to make me more like Christ.
• It's OK to grieve. Grieving is necessary. But we should not grieve as though we have no hope. (1 Thess. 4:13)
Job said with confidence, "And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." (Job 19:26)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is our hope, and one day, not only will we see God, but we'll see our loved ones again. As long as his tomb is empty, his promise of eternal life to all believers is firm.
With that assurance, we can carry on. We can be comforted. And eventually, we can be strong again.
• Finally, our suffering prepares us to help others. (2 Cor. 1:3-4)
To all my friends who have lost loved ones recently, I'm sorry for your loss. But take heart:
While you might feel hurt and helpless now, someday you're going to be able to help someone else going through a similar hardship. And because of your words and your understanding, they're going to see you as a source of strength.

6:19 PM EDT, March 15, 2013
The Ravens almost lost another key player in free agency.
Oh, ho-hum, another day, another top player gone.
Who cares, and at this point, did anyone expect anything different? Despite the exodus of players, the Ravens haven't made any major mistakes in cutting players or not re-signing them.
So far, the offseason has gone as expected with the Ravens losing six starters from last season's Super Bowl championship team. On Friday, future Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed almost became the latest before he left Houston without a contract.
The Texans and some of their front office greeted Reed as if he was an astronaut who had returned from one of those famed Apollo space missions, and they might have found out he is just as spacey.
But at least the Ravens didn't have to say bye, bye yet.
There will always be great respect for Reed. For the past 11 seasons in Baltimore, he proved he was one of the best to ever play the game. Early in his career, before the injuries, he was one of the NFL's top tacklers.
Few have played with more passion and even fewer showed such remarkable instincts. Reed was a game changer and his trademark was that long, loping stride down the sideline after an interception and returning it for a touchdown.
He was about to be missed on Sundays, and so were those stares and tough words he used to have for me in the locker room and on the radio during the course of the week.
Yet after the Super Bowl, there was a good chance Reed would not be in a Ravens uniform again. At 34, with several nagging injuries and having lost a step which no longer allowed him to freelance as much in coverage, only a contending team that believed Reed was the missing ingredient would pay him big money.
It appeared to be Houston, but not any longer. Despite flying Reed in on the owner's personal jet, the two sides failed to reach an agreement. There is speculation Reed wanted a contract worth $6 or $7 million a season, and the Texans wanted a more modest salary loaded with incentives.
Reed is learning a tough lesson. Free agency is time for the young and that is why former Ravens linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe made out so well.
Both developed well through the years and had successful seasons in 2012-13. But there is no way the Ravens were going to pay Kruger $8 million or Ellerbe $7 million per season like the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins.
They shouldn't have.
Unfortunately, the NFL has its way of rewarding incompetent franchises, and free agency is the great equalizer.
As for Reed, he can put some confidence into a Houston secondary that played poorly in the final quarter of the regular season and in the playoffs. Is he worth the millions he wants from the Texans, or possibly the Indianapolis Colts?
It depends on your needs. If you want a safety that tackles well and plays within the scheme, then he is not worth it. If you want a safety that can still play a great center field and take away one half of a field, then you want Reed.
In the age of the salary cap, Super Bowl teams are often raided for their players, but the Ravens have another issue as well.
This is head coach John Harbaugh's team now, and that went into effect immediately after the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers, and Ray Lewis took his shoulder pads off for the last time after an illustrious 17-year career.
Now, the Ravens have to make a decision on Reed. What is the price and limit for tolerating some of his antics? Reed was a part of a group of players that complained and were critical of Harbaugh.
There was speculation during the regular season that the Ravens wouldn't invite Reed back once it was over, and that appeared near certain once Lewis announced his retirement.
Harbaugh was going to clean The Castle of all malcontents.
Harbaugh is old school. He wants tough, hard-nosed players who practice hard, but also ones that operate within the team concept.
Lewis was that way, but also a player who could disrupt a team if he didn't get his way which is why he never came off the field despite being a liability on passing situations during the last five years he played.
Reed is often moody. His relationship with Harbaugh improved during the last two years, but possibly not to the point where Harbaugh wants to keep him around, especially at a high price. The Ravens are probably being polite to Reed in negotiations, but not serious.
Both receiver Anquan Boldin and safety Bernard Pollard were tough guys on the field, but also regarded as rebels and constant complainers.
Boldin was traded to the 49ers after declining to take a $2 million pay cut and Pollard was cut earlier this week.
Pollard had also become a liability in pass coverage, but there is a pattern here.
If Harbaugh had brought back all of these players with the exception of Lewis there probably would be an implosion. M & T Bank Stadium couldn't have housed all the egos again.
Give Harbaugh credit. He made it work through the years and still managed to win a championship.
But now it's time to move on. The Ravens have successfully made the transition from a defensive team to one which is carried by offense. In the meantime, they have to rebuild a defense which is in need of a defensive tackle, middle linebacker and a safety, possibly two.
But there is still a lot of time remaining before training camp starts and the Ravens have one of the best organizations in the NFL.
The Ravens don't make many mistakes and they haven't this offseason. They are being punished for their own success. They have some great players who are eating up a lot of the salary cap, but a lot of the good ones get away.
It's no big deal, though, just another ho-hum day at the office for the Ravens.

Breathtaking view!
God's Country!
The Highest Mountaintop!
and a bit chilly and windy.
Don't bother taking the dirt foot paths to see what's around the other side of the mountain. It's a deceptively long hike and not worth it.
Pass is only open during the summer.

We drove from Denver through Leadville to reach Colorado Highway 82 West. Except for the tiny resort town of Twin Lakes, there isn't much on this road except mountain scenery. About 20 miles after Twin Lakes, the road starts to climb; at first gradually, then starting into switchbacks to make the ascent to the top of the Continental Divide. On the east side, it doesn't take long to get above treeline and arrive at the top of the pass, 12,095 feet above sea level. There is always some snow at the top, even in mid-summer. Some adventurous visitors were sliding down a steep snowfield with their dog when we arrived! A small trail takes you to the top of a hill where you can see in every direction. It's usually cold there and a jacket is handy to have, even if it's in the 80s down below.
The descent towards Aspen is a challenging drive, even for Colorado natives. The road is built on a pretty sheer cliff in many areas and sometimes there is no guardrail. The views are dramatic coming down, but if you're the driver, you'd better just watch the road and use the pull-offs to enjoy the view. As you get closer to Aspen, there are two spots where the road is so narrow that there is no center line, about a lane-and-a-half width. You need to slow down and just hope an RV doesn't come in the other direction. Also, watch out for wildlife; we saw a deer dart across the road in front of the car in broad daylight.
A point to stop would be about four miles down from the pass at the site of the Independence Ghost Town. It thrived in the silver mining heyday of the late 1800s, but when the railroad passed them by, it slowly dwindled down to the last resident who hung on until the 1930s. I can't imagine how hard life must have been, especially in the winter. A donation is requested to tour the site, but you can certainly see a lot and read the placards from the parking area.
If you arrived in Aspen in the other direction, via Glenwood Springs, it's certainly worth the drive to visit the top of the pass in the summer. Just take it slowly and hope you can switch off the driving chores with someone you're traveling with!
